Bachelor in Global Law and Transnational Legal Studies at University of Turin

Detailed entry requirements

Turin's Global Law and Transnational Legal Studies bachelor asks for a school-leaving qualification after at least 12 years of schooling, with proof of authenticity, and the CISIA TOLC-SU as a check of minimum requirements. Non-EU applicants living abroad also prove English at B2 through set TOLC section scores. Reviewed 8 October 2026. [1]

School-leaving qualification

You need a secondary school qualification obtained after at least 12 years of general education that gives access to a university programme of the same level in your country. [1] You must have attended at least the last two years in the same education system, and the qualification needs proof of authenticity. [4]

If your schooling lasted fewer than 12 years, you add one year of university study with all first-year exams passed, or a related post-secondary qualification. For 11 years of schooling, a Foundation Programme at an Italian university is another option. If your country requires a national university entrance exam, you include that result too. [1][4]

What this means for your school results

As a guide, based on the rule above:

• Usually a fit: Class 12 from CBSE, CISCE or a state board, a Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC or HSSC) from Pakistan or Bangladesh, or GCE A levels, completed after 12 years of schooling.
• Check carefully: a polytechnic diploma taken after Class 10, or a school record where you changed education system during the last two years.
• Often short: a qualification after only 10 or 11 years of schooling, unless you add the university year, post-secondary qualification or Foundation Programme described above.

The admission pages set no minimum school grade and no required school subjects. Your starting level is checked through the TOLC-SU instead. [1][3]

English

You need English at CEFR level B2 or higher. Non-EU applicants living abroad prove it for the study visa in one of two ways: [1]

• TOLC-SU taken from 1 January 2025, with at least 12 points in the English section.
• English TOLC-E taken between 1 January and 30 November 2025, with at least 4 points in the Reading Comprehension section.

The CISIA English Test (CEnT) is not accepted. For 2026/27, the TOLC certificate had to be attached on Universitaly or Apply@UniTo by 15 July 2026. The programme page lists no IELTS or TOEFL alternative. [1]

TOLC-SU and open access

Access is open. For 2026/27 the TOLC-SU, run by CISIA, served as the test of minimum requirements (TARM) for this degree, and applicants who took an English TOLC-E between 1 January and 30 November 2025 did not need to sit the TOLC-SU. [3][6]

• The TOLC costs €35, paid to CISIA. UniTo runs it only as the online TOLC@CASA, but you can book a session at any Italian university. [2][3]
• Register for the test with your name in Latin letters, because results must show an Italian fiscal code. [2]
• You can repeat the same TOLC no more than once a month, and only your most recent result counts. [3]
• If you score below the minimum threshold, you can still enrol, with an additional learning requirement (OFA) run with the university language centre, to complete within the first year. [6]

2026/27 places and deadlines

For 2026/27 the degree had 250 places for non-EU applicants residing abroad. [1] They applied on Apply@UniTo from 19 February to 15 April 2026 and completed Universitaly pre-enrolment by 15 July 2026. [2] Later 2026/27 Apply@UniTo calls, closing on 19 October 2026, were reserved for EU applicants and non-EU applicants legally living in Italy. [1] The next call sets the 2027/28 dates.

Documents and non-EU steps

• The Apply@UniTo application fee is €60, non-refundable, and covers up to two programmes. [1][2]
• You upload a valid passport and your school-leaving qualification. If you are still in your final school year, you upload a certificate of enrolment in that year and a score report for the years completed, and you must hold the final qualification to enrol. [4]
• Proof of authenticity can be legalisation, an apostille or an ENIC-NARIC statement of verification. For some countries, including India and Pakistan, UniTo can check qualifications directly on official digital platforms. [4]
• A CIMEA declaration of value or statement of comparability is not mandatory, but the office may request it. [4]
• Documents are accepted in Italian, English, French or Spanish. Other languages need a certified translation. [1][4]
• Non-EU applicants living abroad complete Universitaly pre-enrolment for one programme. Admission does not by itself secure a visa: the Italian consulate decides. [2]

English at B2. Non-EU applicants living abroad prove it with at least 12 points in the TOLC-SU English section, or 4 points in English TOLC-E reading if taken in 2025. The programme page lists no IELTS or TOEFL alternative, and the CEnT is not accepted. [1]

I studied commerce or humanities in Class 12. Can I apply?

For 2026/27, students residing abroad pay €500 to €1,500 a year depending on their country's GDP per capita, plus €156 in regional tax and stamp duty. Residents of India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are in the €500 band. [5]

I'm applying from India. What is the route into Global Law?

Class 12 from CBSE, CISCE or a state board, completed after 12 years of schooling, can meet the school-leaving rule, with proof of authenticity. You also sit the CISIA TOLC-SU and need at least 12 points in its English section to prove B2. The steps are the TOLC-SU, the Apply@UniTo application and Universitaly pre-enrolment. [1][4] Indian students apply for the type D study visa at the Italian embassy or consulate that covers their state, such as New Delhi, Mumbai or Bengaluru.

Is the route different from Pakistan, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka?

No. The academic rules for Global Law are the same whatever your nationality. Applicants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka follow the same steps as India: the TOLC-SU, an Apply@UniTo application and Universitaly pre-enrolment, then a type D study visa from the Italian mission for their country of residence.
